A few weeks ago my friend Annie gave me a buzz and asked if I would like to spend the day with her at the art museum. I jumped at the chance because Annie is a great conversationalist, hysterically funny and is opinionated as all get-out...making it easy to know what she is thinking and feeling. Every girl needs a no-nonsense friend, the one who will tell you the truth, for better or worse, because she loves you.

When it comes to art...I am not a deep thinker. I either like it or I don't. Annie on the other hand is artsie fartsie. She even studied "IT" in college. Talk about being intimidated. Hang out with an art major at an art museum for the day! As Annie hit her groove, I found myself hitting mine. I began taking photos of the things I love: People and Details

The lines of the lobby chairs & the book on the coffee table.

Annie admiring a piece of African art.

Books suspended from the ceiling.

And a college student deep in thought.

Over the course of a few hours we chatted about the things that connect us. A passion for orphaned children. A desire to simplify our lives. To grow in our faith. And our bizarre fascination with period dramas on television and organic gardening. We even talked about photography and my comfort zone...hiding behind it. That's when this happened. An awesome reminder of a day well spent.

We saw Town Mouse/Country Mouse at the Indiana Repertory Theatre today! This cool excursion to the city ended with a cheese tasting. Fitting don’t ya think? 😂#growinguptrusty #townmousecountrymouse #cheesetasting

How many missing teeth you ask? Well, that’d be two on the bottom...and two on the top! Watching him eat dinner is the highlight of my evening! #growinguptrusty #toothlesswonder

Aren’t Sundays the best! The washing machine is humming — finally made it around to our bedding. It’s been a few weeks. Don’t judge. I’m listening to old church hymns in the background, making lunch and catching glimpses of my littles playing in the yard. This swing was a gift from our dear friend Denise and my, it is loved. Countless booties warm the reclaimed barn wood on a daily basis but no one does it like Jack. He flips. Hangs. Climbs. Stands. He goes all out boy on that thing...and it’s fun to watch. Every swing deserves to be loved this hard. #justjack #growinguptrusty #slowsunday @deniseharris6350

Check it out, friends! Not the hamburger. Nope, not the old time diner with a questionable name. The piggy tails — real deal, big girl piggy tails! #growinguptrusty #katiehui #piggytails #4yrsinthemaking

Meanwhile...over at Target the Trusty kids taught Mr. Jon (a stranger moments before) how to dab! So impressed by his skills, they also taught him “the stanky leg” and something that resembled breakdancing. Mr. Jon held his own but tapped out for the breakdancing bit! #growinguptrusty #beafriend #loveoneanother

Every once in awhile, I like to provide the children with a cultural experience to help broaden their perspective of the world. Tonight...MONSTER JAM! You get a free creepy mask with every bag of overpriced cotton candy. #letsjam #justjack #monsterjam

Who’s the boss now! Katie-Hui, although intimidating, is no match for a pup with razor sharp teeth! It turns out that piggie-toes are Josie’s most favorite things in the whole world! #nobodyputsbabyinacorner #growinguptrusty #biggiesmalls #katieandjosie
